Linn County

In Linn County, where the Board of Supervisors is going from five to three members, all five incumbents and the Linn County auditor are seeking election to the three seats in the Nov. 6 election.

Reports for the quarter from July to mid-October showed:

l District 1 supervisor: Stacey Walker, a Democrat, started the summer with $4,358.71 and added $6,240 in campaign contributions. He spent $4,526 with Petel and Company, a campaign resource company in Washington, D.C.

Walker’s biggest donations included $2,000 from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and $1,000 from the Linn Phoenix Club.

James Houser, running as a no-party candidate after losing the Democratic primary to Walker in June, raised $3,310 in contributions and loaned his campaign almost $6,000. He spent $1,250 on postage and $4,450 on consulting services.

Houser’s donations came from individuals.

l District 2 supervisor: Democrat Ben Rogers started the reporting period with nearly $16,000 on hand, raised another $6,500 and spent a little more than $11,700. His expenses included $6,000 on consultant services, as well as printing fees and advertising.
